Take Off with full battery

[namnonac]

Hi folks, new here with less than 2 hours flying time. I see on the forum lots of references to only flying with a full battery. Do you only have one continuos flight. I have on occasions flown for 5-7 minutes landed and switched off changed location, switched back on and recalibrate C Compass and had another flight. I may do this a couple of times each outing. Is this not a good thing to do and if do why?

People have reported that they have done what you suggest and insist it is perfectly safe with no issues. Still, personally, I'd prefer to have a second, fully charged battery, but that's me.

If I have flown a pack down to around 60pc (50 is my limit) I will do another flight on it same day if the need arises. Haven't had an issue. I wouldn't be going out over water or somewhere it may be difficult to recover from a problem though.

As to your compass calibration. I would rather stick with a known good calibration than calibrate prior to every flight.

You can safely fly for a few minutes on the same battery in a few locations if you make sure you're monitoring the battery voltage.

and recalibrate C Compass
